This rich, chocolate dessert is so delicious you won’t believe the creaminess came from an avocado. The chocolate takes over the taste of the avocado, which leaves you with a smooth texture you’d never thought imaginable. Because avocados are a superfood, you are getting your chocolate fix along with heart healthy fats and antioxidants. That’s definitely something you won’t get from a candy bar! If you weren’t a fan of avocados before, you will be now.

Top with fresh fruits if you wish, serve cold and enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 ripe avocado

1/4 cup agave nectar

1/4 cup almond milk (or milk of your choosing)

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Halve and pit the avocado and scoop out the middle.

2. In a food processor or blender, combine the avocado, agave nectar, almond milk, cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Process for 2 minutes, stir and scrape the sides, and process again for 1-2 minutes until the mousse is smooth.

3. If desired, top the mousse with fresh fruits such as mango, raspberries or blueberries
